Talmud is the basis of codes of Jewish laws.

You are probably interested in something new to you or want to know more about it, so the dream means that you have lots of things to learn.

If you are Jew, than you probably need to learn something (religion, psychology, history etc) first to be able to understand yourself.

If you are not Jew then you probably need to learn a lot in order to be able to understand someone/something foreign/very different from you or look at the issue from a different perspective.

I hope you're still around ... I apologize for the delay.

"You cannot sing without a Talmud."

You cannot express yourself without an understanding of spiritual law.

So yes, this is about learning, but more than that, it is about your personal expression of that-which-is-within you.

Today I began to make notes about your dream (I have it printed out) when my own voice-from-within began to speak. I don't know if you are familiar with this, but this "voice" occassionally pops in and begins to explain things, so I simply write what comes as I am writing. It's happened a few times with dreams posted here, and I'm still not sure what to think about it, but here it goes anyway ... you be the judge ...

The dreamer has a poet's heart, a poet's soul, and for the proper, full expression of the Creative Force within this one, there should be the study and application of Spiritual Law. It is not that this one is not aware of the Greater Forces, or operates against same, rather, it is the need of the dreamer to more fully establish a conscious link between the Law and the Material so that there may be a fullness of Creative Expression.

There is a sadness in this one, deep, and a more solid, more confident grasp of the Law can transmute this energy. It is this sadness which gives this one the poet's soul, but it is the sadness which also constitutes a blockage within the energy flow, the Creative Flow. Release the blockage and the Creative shall bubble up, and out, unhindered.

This dream illustrates and provides a resonant bridge to the dreamer's unconscious, to the past life experience which resides there, and it is through this bridge that the unconscious material will be able to manifest in the conscious mind, with the purpose of the enrichment of the understanding, knowledge, experience, wisdom, and creative expression of the individual.

Understand that the dreamer's experience encompasses a life in which the Talmud was central. In that life, the rabbi (you) was one with the Law, not as understood by the common man, but as understood from the higher spiritual, from the Source, a more esoteric comprehension. And in that life the Creative Force flowed freely, and the individual influenced many through it. The same can be in this time, in this life, and so aligning one's self, one's vibration, with the vibration of the experience of that life shall enable this one to bear the Creative Fruit of the Father.

How does that sound to you?

Thanks for your kind words. I wish I could take credit for anything that meant something to you, but that belongs somewhere 'upstairs'. The short-comings are mine. I would love to know what you think and feel after considering it for a while. Thank you for sharing your dream.

Anyway, it is apparent that you gave this dream and 'my' thoughts on it a great deal of consideration, and I am glad to see it has your wheels turning. Your thoughts are provoking and deep, and you are so open to ideas. You know, while I got the feeling that exploring the Talmud and related scripture could benefit you in some way, there was also the feeling that 'Talmud' also symbolizes Spiritual Law in general, encompassing any of the various equally important scriptures from other cultures. So my feeling was that you needn't only study the Talmud.

Thank you for your feedback, and your honesty.

Walk in Peace

That is some very peculiar stuff! Very interesting. The fairy is totally relevant. It symbolizes energies from within which have yet to be tapped into; unknown/unrecognized energies emanating from the collective unconscious, awaiting conscious recognition/activation. Does that make sense? A sort of messenger from the Unconscious. Of what? Well, in your case, it appears clear, 'Mesorite'. I did a search on that as well ... very interesting.

I'll be giving this some thought. Thank you very much for sharing this. I feel like some of what came through from your first dream is kind of more validated, in a sense ... so thank you.

Truly, you are doing that now, and I really mean that. This little dialogue is doing more for my learning curve than a hundred "regular" dreams. I am honored that you have taken this to heart, for whatever reason, and have done this wonderful bit of research into it. And if the 'synchronicities' keep manifesting, it just fascinates me all the more ... and gives me hope. It sure seems as if something good is going on here, and I hope we can discover more of these hidden treasures together.

Thank you.
